Workplace Harassment Attorneys Serving Lake Oswego, The Portland Metro Area And All Of Oregon

Harassment has no place within the work environment. It destroys productivity and morale and, in some cases, it is against the law. Unlawful harassment is unwelcome conduct that is based on a protected characteristic such as race, age, gender/sex, religion, disability, and others.

According to both federal and state law, harassment is unlawful where 1) enduring the offensive conduct becomes a condition of continued employment, or 2) the conduct is severe or pervasive enough to create a work environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive.

Not all forms of harassment and workplace bullying are against the law.  At The Law Offices of Judy Snyder, we will help you understand the difference.

Navigating Workplace Harassment Laws In Oregon

Numerous state and federal employment laws prohibit harassment in the workplace. These laws include Title VII, the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, to name just a few.  Enacted in 2020, Oregon’s Workplace Fairness Act strengthens protections against harassment, gives workers more time to file harassment claims and prohibits employers from using non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and confidentiality agreements to keep workers quiet about the harassment they experienced at work.

Sadly, illegal harassment remains pervasive in workplaces throughout Oregon.  We have the experience, knowledge and skills to advise you about your rights and to hold employers accountable.
